18. 18 Using Goodness of Fit to Choose Between Competing Probability Models u Men on base when a home run is hit

19. 19 Men on base when a home run is hit

20. 20 Conjecture u Distribution is binomial

21. 21 Average # of men on base Sum of products = n*p = 0.298+0.250+0.081 = 0.63

22. 22 Using the binomial k=men on base, n=# of trials u P(k=0) = [3!/0!3!] (0.21) 0 (0.79) 3 = 0.493 u P(k=1) = [3!/1!2!] (0.21) 1 (0.79) 2 = 0.393 u P(k=2) = [3!/2!1!] (0.21) 2 (0.79) 1 = 0.105 u P(k=3) = [3!/3!0!] (0.21) 3 (0.79) 0 = 0.009

23. 23 Assuming the binomial u The probability of zero men on base is 0.493 u the total number of observations is 765 u so the expected number of observations for zero men on base is 0.493*765=377.1

31. 31 Likelihood Functions u Review OLS Likelihood u Proceed in a similar fashion for the probit

32. 32 Likelihood function u The joint density of the estimated residuals can be written as: u If the sample of observations on the dependent variable, y, and the independent variable, x, is random, then the observations are independent of one another. If the errors are also identically distributed, f, i.e. i.i.d, then

33. 33 Likelihood function u Continued: If i.i.d., then u If the residuals are normally distributed: u This is one of the assumptions of linear regression: errors are i.i.d normal u then the joint distribution or likelihood function, L, can be written as:

34. 34 Likelihood function u and taking natural logarithms of both sides, where the logarithm is a monotonically increasing function so that if lnL is maximized, so is L:

35. 35 Log-Likelihood u Taking the derivative of lnL with respect to either a-hat or b-hat yields the same estimators for the parameters a and b as with ordinary least squares, except now we know the errors are normally distributed.

36. 36 Probit u Example: expenditures on lottery as a % of household income u lottery i = a + b*income i + e i u if lottery i >0, i.e. a + b*income i + e i >0, then Bern i, the yes-no indicator variable is equal to one and e i >- a - b*income i u this determines a threshold for observation i in the distribution of the error e i u assume

37. i

38. i Area above the threshold is the probability of playing the lottery for observation i, P yes

39. i Area above the threshold is the probability of playing the lottery for observation i, P yes P no for observation i

40. 40 Probit u Likelihood function for the observed sample u Log likelihood:

41. 41

42. i Area above the threshold is the probability of playing the lottery for observation i, P yes P no for observation i

43. 43 Probit u Substituting these expressions for P no and P yes in the ln Likelihood function gives the complete expression.
